I had almost the same patch originally but ended up not sending
it because I could not figure out what to do about

typedef int (*rpmsg_rx_cb_t)(struct rpmsg_device *, void *, int, void *, u32);

which is a generic part of rpmsg that takes a non-const pointer
and gets called by mtk_rpmsg_ipi_handler(), which would now
get a const pointer.
